Lesson Plan

Heads or Tails?

I want to design and create an amazing lesson plan that teaches students (~4th graders) about probability.  I think I would be able to incorporate many different types of technology into my plan which would add flavor and excitement!  I want to keep the students involved and engaged as much as possible, and think that teaching probability should be very hands-on.  



Probability and Statistics 
Focus: Outcomes and Data 
4.13 The student will 
a) predict the likelihood of an outcome of a simple event; and 
b) represent probability as a number between 0 and 1, inclusive

What color are you most likely going to land on?

What's the probability they'll both land on 1?
